Wyatt Technology

#440

Scattering experiments have a long history in physics. Unlike X-ray or neutron scattering, light scattering is unique in its ability to probe fluid solutions non-invasively. Both Classical light scattering and QELS have long been used as standard methods to measure molecular weight, mean square radius, aggregation state, diffusion coefficients, and association constants. Despite being developed primarily by the physics community, light scattering has found wide application in chemistry and material science. With the current emphasis on nanostructure materials, laser light scattering is undergoing a renaissance within the physics community. Wyatt Technology, a world leader in analytical instrumentation, will exhibit its state of the art instrumentation demonstrating the utility of these methods in a wide range of applications relevant to today’s modern researcher.
